Sleep Special: Hardcore Hibernation & Biohacking The Bedroom W/ Todd Youngblood #222

Want to know what the best biohack in the world is? Sleep.  There is no smart drug, supplement, or routine that is going to have as much of a positive, transformational impact on your life than getting a good night’s sleep every night. It’s that simple. Of course, it isn’t always that easy. We’re being bombarded by blue light and invisible EMF pollution. We feel busy and anxious. We’re too hot or too cold. Sometimes, it feels like everything is set up to make it as hard as possible to sleep. But there’s one thing that’s really changed the game for me, especially when I’m traveling – the chiliPAD. And when I find something that just works and it becomes an important part of my routine, I feel compelled to share it with all of you. So, I sat down with Todd Youngblood, Co-Founder and CEO of Kryo Inc., creators of the chiliPAD Sleep System, to learn more about how this thing works and why he got into the business of sleep with his wife and business partner Tara. If you’re waking up tired, feel like you don’t have enough energy to make it through the day, or just never feel like you’re quite at 100% health, you can’t miss this episode.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: The history of sleep technology, including the unfortunate detour into water beds Creating a recipe for your best self You could change just about everything about a bed... except the temperature Breaking the bad habits of the sleep industry, like sleeping pills If your body temperature doesn’t drop, you can’t fall asleep How foam beds are affecting your sleep The evolutionary aspects of sleep How lowering the temperature of your bed improves intimacy Lulling your body into a semi-hibernative state Making it easier for two people to sleep in the same bed, without compromising How electric blankets can take years off of your life Quantifying what improves our sleep How the app lets you customize exactly what you want your sleep experience to be like with the chiliPAD Making your bed a healthy, holistic recovery space   More about this episode.

Biohacking Birth, Babies, & Homeschooling Kids w/ Wellness Mama AKA Katie Wells #221

Katie Wells, CTNC, MCHC, has been answering my questions about health and wellness, via Google, for years now – so I’m pumped to have her on the show to ask some of these questions in person! Katie, AKA Wellness Mama, is a top thought leader for a young generation of moms who want to avoid the rampant health issues currently plaguing our youth.  However, when Katie began her journey, she was just a young mom-to-be who wanted some answers about her own health challenges, which were really kicked into overdrive when she was pregnant with her first child. It was then that she stumbled onto this startling statistic: For the first time in history, this generation of children is expected to have shorter lifespans than their parents. This was Katie’s “hold my beer” moment. So, she put on her journalist hat and started researching – although she used more than Google – and then she started sharing what she learned with others through a blog and podcast. 12 years later, Wellness Mama is still putting out some of the most informative and best-researched content in the health and wellness industry, and they’ve attracted a passionate community of other like-minded people who want to defy expectations and build a better future for the next generation. This is the kind of stuff that really matters for our collective future, so I’m definitely hopping on the Wellness Mama train. What about you?   Topics Discussed In This Episode: A generation of children is expected to have shorter lifespans than their parents, for the first time in history Dealing with Hashimoto’s, which is not a sushi restaurant but an autoimmune disease Growing from a blog into an empire How moms can shape the future of the United States and society as a whole Bringing six children into the world & raising them all to be conscious humans What you need to know about birth control A great relationship hack Why more women are suffering from abnormal and painful cycles & what you can do about it What foods you will want to stay away from and eat more of if you are planning to have children or pregnant Bucking the mainstream Western method of birth for more natural births with fewer interventions Dos and don’ts for raising a healthy baby How Katie creates a homeschool designed to stimulate creativity, critical thought, and natural development Finding the time to homeschool as a working mom Raising six kids that aren’t annoying in airports, somehow   More about this episode.

Community Q&A: Listener Questions Answered (Luke Solo Show) #220

On this very special episode of The Life Stylist, we’re flipping the script and I’m going to be answering some of YOUR questions. All of the questions in this episode came from the wonderful people in The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group – so, if you want to have some of your questions answered on a future episode, come and join the tribe! Honestly, I’m constantly blown away by how smart the people in this group are and I’m also learning from all of you every day, which is why I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to give back by answering some of your questions. But, at the end of the day, my best advice for just about any problem is to follow your heart, follow your gut, and follow your intuition to figure out what’s right for you. We should all be asking questions and striving to learn as much as possible, but then don’t just accept answers blindly, mine or otherwise – think about them, filter them through your intuition, and make your own choices.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: What are the easiest and most budget-friendly hacks (besides water and meditation)? Aligning yourself with nature The right thing isn’t always the easy or fun thing Building up your solar callus Living in opposition to nature How do you make a dope whole-house water system & how does it compare to reverse osmosis structured water with re-mineralization? What’s the top thing that Luke has done to transform his life (besides getting sober)? Emotional sobriety, financial sobriety, sexual sobriety, & spiritual sobriety Kundalini yoga’s multifaceted and transformative healing powers Living free of resentment Being right is a fool’s errand Studying – and applying – spiritual literature Finding the value in service   More about this episode.   Connect with Luke on social media to learn how to take your lifestyle to the next level, plus catch exclusive live interviews & events: INSTAGRAM - @lukestorey // https://www.instagram.com/lukestorey/ FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/MrLukeStorey/ TWITTER - @MrLukeStorey // https://twitter.com/MRLUKESTOREY YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/c/LukeStorey THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ORGANIFI.

Kava Culture: Nature's Xanax And Your Nervous System Solution W/ Cameron George #219

When Cameron George first got to college, he was a healthy kid and a competitive cross-country runner. But things took a dramatic turn in his sophomore year. Suddenly, this seemingly healthy 19-year-old’s immune and nervous system crashed. He was weak, tired, and unmotivated. They thought he was just burnt out from running, but Cameron actually developed an autoimmune disorder. The next few years were horrific for the George family: Cameron’s health and mental cognition steadily declined, while they were going from doctor to doctor and medication to medication – but nothing helped. Years went by like this, and just when they thought things couldn’t get any worse, his body started to reject all food and water. While Cameron was surviving through IVs, he desperately searched for answers – and, luckily, he found former guest Dr. Dan Pompa, who had overcome his own health struggles. Together, they set out to try using kava, a plant indigenous to the South Pacific, to calm down his overexcited nervous system. The plant medicine seemed promising, but what they found was that the traditional methods of preparing kava were too physically demanding and the extracted forms out there didn’t produce noticeable results. I personally love kava root and I can attest to this. I’ve spent far too much time, money, and energy acquiring extracted kava products that just weren’t up to snuff. But with some help preparing a traditional kava drink, Cameron started to see positive results – so he set out on a quest to create a simpler, more effective, and tastier method of receiving the healing benefits of kava. He found what he was looking for and created KAVAPLEX, a full-spectrum kava oil that delivers almost all of the healing benefits of the traditional kava tea. Not a lot of people in the U.S. (or, really, anywhere that’s not the South Pacific) even know what kava is – but you’re going to learn a LOT about it in this episode and you’ll be grateful that you did.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: The root of Cameron’s sudden autoimmune and chronic illness Cameron’s proclivity to becoming addicted Why Cameron ended up going on random buying sprees, including buying exotic animals in an effort to pursue his lifelong dream to recreate Ace Ventura Animal Detective Taking a drug – even a prescription drug – is a huge and potentially life-altering decision Everything Cameron tried that didn’t work The 3000-year history of kava use in Vanuatu Why scientists are studying what happens when you give kava to people with cancer or metabolic disorders A huge misconception about kava that has been perpetuated by the pharmaceutical industry “Daily drinking” kava, or noble kava strains The improved method of kava extraction that Cameron helped create so that they could produce full spectrum kava products The need for more perspective in today’s world   More about this episode.

Sober Curious: Becoming Spiritual Without The Spirits #218

Ruby Warrington is an author and spiritual thought leader who has been sparking a lot of interesting conversations over the past few years. Last time she was on the show, we talked about why she created The Numinous, a cosmic lifestyle platform that updates all things "new age" for life in the Now Age, and how she stays so grounded in reality without sacrificing her spiritual life. And over the past few months, Ruby’s new book, Sober Curious: The Blissful Sleep, Greater Focus, Limitless Presence, and Deep Connection Awaiting Us All On The Other Side of Alcohol, has been kicking off a much-needed conversation about alcohol. It’s important to note that Sober Curious isn’t a sobriety program and Ruby isn’t trying to demonize those who drink alcohol or the substance itself – it’s just an open invitation to join a conversation in which anyone can investigate something that often goes under the radar: our cultural and personal relationship with alcohol, our perception of alcohol, and why it is we drink.  And the idea of being Sober Curious is clearly hitting a nerve in the zeitgeist because it’s quickly growing into a lifestyle embraced by a large and diverse group of people. If you’ve listened to the show before, you probably know I have a complex relationship with drugs and addiction, and I wish I had been exposed to some of these ideas earlier in my life. So, consider this your official invitation to join us in thinking about alcohol in a new way; to learn the benefits that come from unlearning the mindless habit of drinking and how you can define your own relationship with alcohol.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: We’re not taught to question our drinking until it becomes problematic – but why? Why are we willing to accept the hangover as the price for a good night out? Creating an environment and culture around drinking where everybody feels that it is safe and okay to ask questions and define their own relationship with alcohol The nature of alcohol Our brain’s hardwired “desire function” Why it’s actually difficult to maintain a neutral relationship with alcohol in our current society Addiction as the way our bodies try to process trauma Feeling like an imposter in AA Cultural conditioning around what’s okay and what’s not okay with certain drugs Making it as normal not to drink as it is to drink Alcohol’s position as a rite of passage into adulthood and the assumptions that come with it Anti-anxiety medication is essentially alcohol in a pill Unacknowledged spiritual and physical trauma How plant medicines can help us mend our trauma and change our relationship with addiction Why alcohol was originally called “spirits” Giving yourself a month-long break from alcohol to examine how it makes you feel and engage in self-examination   More about this episode.

Next Level Human Optimization: Psychedelics & Life Mastery W/ Kyle Kingsbury #217

Kyle Kingsbury is the office guinea pig at Onnit and he tries pretty much everything that might optimize the human experience – but, lately, the most important things haven’t been the latest and greatest biohacks. His focus has been on self-management practices that help him manage his mindset and his nerves. It’s been a constant journey to return to stillness and find peace – a path that all of us could benefit from walking. Our monkey minds freak out because they feel like there’s so much to do and not enough time, but inevitably, things get better. We get wrapped up in what the hurdles are and we forget to appreciate what we learn from overcoming them. A mindset shift can help kick off the journey: Everything in life is happening for you, not to you. It’s exceedingly simple, but truly believing that will help you develop a greater mastery over life and your experience of it. A life that doesn’t include the purpose of learning and evolving is just going to be filled with existential suffering – but none of us need to experience that, especially not when there are people like Kyle out there testing next-level human optimization and life mastery techniques then shouting what works from the rooftops.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Kyle’s recent plant medicine experiences Returning to stillness to find peace Using hindsight as foresight Anxiety is time wasted We always have a choice over how we experience life What the heck Penis Envy Mushrooms are Using plant medicine with reverence and intention Not all mushrooms are created equal When Kyle took a heroic dose of mushrooms with his dad How adding MDMA to a mushroom cocktail can add to the experience Why MDMA will probably be legal for therapy in just a matter of months & the transformative healing effects it can have Nicotine is the greatest nootropic on Earth My one experience with MDMA (that ended with a high-speed chase) Hunting for your meat – because life takes life What Kyle learned about life and himself from his most recent hunting experience Why it benefits to understand the paleolithic evolution of humankind   More about this episode.

Bulletproof Upgrade Labs Biohacking All-Stars Part Two #216

Max Lugavere is a filmmaker, TV personality, health and science journalist, and brain food expert.  Max is also the author of Genius Foods, the host of The Genius Life podcast, and the director of the upcoming film Bread Head, the first-ever documentary about dementia prevention through diet and lifestyle. Topics Discussed with Max Lugavere: The out-of-date notion that there’s a one-size-fits-all diet Condescension and cynicism in the fitness world How to rid your home of endocrine-disrupting chemicals Biohacking the iron levels in your blood How bringing your own condiments to restaurants will save you money and improve your health Embracing consistency and striving for progress Spiritual atheism How our language colors the world The future of personalized medicine   Daniel Eisenman graduated Pre-Med from Emory University with a BS – an ironic acronym, he’s come to learn – in Biology. He even took the MCAT and was well on his way to medical school. But before continuing down the path of "NORMAL," as pretty much everyone in his life advised him to do, he decided to take a year off. That year off has now turned into a decade of breaking normal, embarking on adventures throughout all 50 states and 20+ countries. Through his journey and experiences, he found that so many people seem to be trapped in self-imposed prisons, keeping a lid on their genius, joy, and growth – and that’s when the idea for Breaking Normal was born, as a way for people to free themselves from this self-imposed prison. Daniel now travels the world as a keynote speaker and facilitator of Breaking Normal Experiences, which are radical retreats and workshops – or, as he likes to call them, playshops – based on the principles of raw honesty and emotional freedom.  Topics Discussed with Daniel Eisenman: Just because something works for you (like a new diet, supplement, or biohack) doesn’t mean it will work for others Why you might be hurting your health by eating food that’s out of season Why Daniel’s favorite and free biohack is breathing (correctly) The magic of edible mushrooms How to focus on your vibrancy Recontextualizing negativity Being health conscious (without becoming neurotic) Combining unconditional love with radical honesty   Mia Magik is a soul hacker. Yeah, I’m just gonna let how cool that is sink in for a moment. So, what does that mean? It means she helps people come into contact with their deepest truth, expression, and magic through ancient wisdom integrated with modern techniques – or, in simpler terms, she uses every tool in her arsenal to help others see that magic is real. Topics Discussed with Mia Magik: Magic is real The myth that pharmaceutical medication is necessary Toxic shame, judgement, and separation The ultimate biohack: navigating a roadmap through your own consciousness Connecting with dragon energy Listening to your intuition and Goddess Earth Processing and letting go of negative emotions by going out into the woods and just going wild Giving yourself permission to feel The future of neurofeedback Freeing your mind and finding your magic   Sameer Sontakey is the CEO and founder of Biostrap, an innovative wearable device that leverages cloud-based algorithms and machine learning to deliver accurate activity and wellness tracking wearables that enable people to make impactful decisions about their health so they can perform, recover, and sleep better. Topics Discussed with Sameer Sontakey: The vitamin scam Sleep as a supplement Why everyone should be tracking heart rate variability (HRV) The bright side of being neurotic The future of wearables   Andy Hnilo is the guy who makes me not look 48 because Andy is the guy who founded Alitura Naturals, creators of the best skincare products I’ve ever used. But the origins of Alitura begin with tragedy, when Andy was struck by multiple vehicles and send to the emergency room with a collapsed lung, seven broken ribs, and a severe compound fracture of my jaw, which was broken in five places. As a model, actor, and Division 1 baseball player, the outcome of this incident had far-reaching implications for his livelihood and future.  But Andy didn’t wallow. He recognized that he had the power to choose his future, and his desperation became the inspiration for Alitura Naturals. He tackled the problem from a natural and nutritional perspective, healing his injuries from the inside and the outside, and got himself back on the runway in just seven weeks. And he’s gone on to share what he’s learned about healing skin and the importance of caring for our skin – because it is our largest organ, and we should be carefully feeding and nourishing it just like it’s a second mouth. Topics Discussed with Andy Hnilo: A scam in the wellness industry that grinds Andy’s gears Why the food pyramid is backwards The 3 most toxic items present in everyone’s home The one supplement Andy would take for the rest of his life, if he could only take one A FREE biohack that everyone should know about How to live a long and vibrant life The one health expert that Andy would follow if he had to choose just one The fine line between being health & being a complete health nut Andy’s (inverted) spiritual practice The biggest biohack or trend Andy sees coming in the next few years   Tim Gray is a leading biohacker and quantified self geek who has spent years testing, evaluating, and measuring thousands of biohacking techniques to improve health, cognition, and overall wellness. Tim is also bringing a bunch of like-minded folks together for the Health Optimisation Summit in September 2019. Not only a leading biohacker, Tim is also CEO of Conversion Rate optimiser, a psychology specialist, a Cognitive Hypnotherapist, and an NLP Master Practitioner. Topics Discussed with Tim Gray: How Tim is using niacin to help him sleep The profound impact of sleep optimization Why you don’t need to get that extreme about your health if you sleep and hydrate better Making your morning ritual your spiritual practice The future is nature What you can expect from the Health Optimisation Summit   More about this episode.   Connect with Luke on social media to learn how to take your lifestyle to the next level, plus catch exclusive live interviews & events: INSTAGRAM - @lukestorey // https://www.instagram.com/lukestorey/ FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/MrLukeStorey/ TWITTER - @MrLukeStorey // https://twitter.com/MRLUKESTOREY YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/c/LukeStorey THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ORGANIFI.

Nothing will ever be perfect, but we can play the best hand possible from the cards we were given; we can accept what is, and celebrate how different we all really are.

From Super Sick To Superman: Optimize Your Health W/ Tim Gray #214

Tim Gray has been to hell and back in his healing journey – but after a whole lot of struggle, learning, and experimentation, he’s emerged as a pioneer and thought leader in the health optimization space (or optimisation, as they like to spell it on the other side of the pond). Not unlike myself, Tim turned his unhealthy body into a human research project, or even a crime scene. He put on his detective hat (metaphorically), grabbed some push pins and string (literally), and started connecting everything that was wrong with him.  When he was done, he realized that it all came back to one thing: mercury. Mercury could very well be the most toxic non-radioactive substance on the planet, but the way our society treats it honestly reminds me of how we treated smoking while I was growing up – very, very casually. I think a lot of people know mercury isn’t necessarily good for you, like people knew that smoking wasn’t good for them in the 70s, but we still don’t quite treat it like we should – like poison! We’re still stuck in the “smoking is okay on airplanes and in restaurants” stage. Luckily, there are people like Tim Gray out there trying to change things. Because he didn’t just identify toxicity as the problem in his health. He also figured out how to get detoxify his body and cut it out of his life, along with a number of other unhealthy substances and habits. And, today, he shares what this journey was like and how we can all join him in the world of optimal health.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: How Tim got his mercury-laden fillings removed by a holistic dentist How mercury can contribute to things like magnesium deficiencies by screwing with our body on a cellular level Tim’s thoughts on Quicksilver Scientific’s detoxification process The negative impact of obsessively worrying about your health (even when there’s something worth worrying about) Finding the sweet spot between awareness and fear Why our unnatural surroundings require that we actively immerse ourselves in nature more often Hyperbaric oxygen therapy The best enzymes, probiotics, and nootropics on the market Why I am so incredibly pumped for the Health Optimisation Summit   More about this episode.

How To Take Your Moonshot And Hit The Target Of Your Dreams With Naveen Jain #213

I don’t know if I’ve ever met someone so fun, enthusiastic, and optimistic about health, thinking, and the future of humanity than today’s guest, Naveen Jain. I’ve met some people who think outside of the box, but this guy doesn’t even have a box. Naveen is known for evangelizing huge (and even seemingly impossible) ideas – AKA Moonshots – and, today, we explore the future of healthcare and the health and wellness industry. Because the fact of the matter is that our current healthcare system, as an institution, is broken: everyone in the system profits off of the sick and no one makes money when people are healthy. And, like so many other industries, the healthcare industry is looking to optimize monetization even further by leveraging the subscription model to “treat” the increasing number of people suffering from chronic disease. What other industry is fundamentally incentivized to not keep the customer happy? It’s mind-boggling. So what will it take to catalyze positive change? And what does a world with abundant healthcare look like? If it feels like we’re talking about the impossible, that’s only because you’re used to seeing the world as it is – and, today, I invite you to join us in seeing the world as it can be.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Life is curiosity The less you know, the more you think you know – and the more you know, the more you realize how little you truly know Becoming the CEO of your own health Life-changing technologies that might be closer to reality than you think The human brain can be fooled very easily – and we can use this to our advantage If you want to move society forward, you have to focus on what the world can be and not what the world is The myth of scarcity Solving seemingly impossible problems just requires asking the right questions You can kill a person, but you can’t kill an idea, you can’t kill a movement Why we are, at best, 1% human – and even that 1% is controlled by our microbiome No one food is “bad,” it’s just better for some people’s microbiome than others’ Why Naveen is constantly trying to reduce the cost of his most transformative products Doing good and doing well are not mutually exclusive Making money is like having an orgasm: if you’re focused on it, you’re never going to get it, so you just have to enjoy the process   More about this episode Watch it on YouTube Connect with Luke on social media to learn how to take your lifestyle to the next level, plus catch exclusive live interviews & events: INSTAGRAM - @lukestorey // https://www.instagram.com/lukestorey/ FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/MrLukeStorey/ TWITTER - @MrLukeStorey // https://twitter.com/MRLUKESTOREY YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/c/LukeStorey   THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ORGANIFI.
